Re: NFL enlists Christian right to fight Barney Frank
Wait a minute. I thought the IGREA permitted sports leagues to opt out. Why would the NFL push even harder against this?
What am I missing? |

Perhaps it's a "scorched earth" move intended to stop any and all potential, no matter how small, that betting on NFL games will occur. |

Re: NFL enlists Christian right to fight Barney Frank
I FING KNEW IT! NFL and other leagues were behind the UIGEA
Bastards! This is not fair competition. Instead of improving their product/embracing change they legislate out competition. I'll never pay for another NFL item in my life. |

Re: NFL enlists Christian right to fight Barney Frank
In my e-mail to the NFL, I let them know that I would not be subscribing to the NFL Ticket on DirectTV this year as a result of their work against Franks bill.
Thanks for the letter!! |

[/ QUOTE ] I did the same. Im not getting it now because I don't have the ability to bet Pinnacle Halftimes. But, its a damn good second reason to not get it. I suggest even if you don't have it, call and say you were going to, and will never now. Merchandise and the TV package are candy for the League office. Its as effective now as Congress phone bombing. Follow up with a handwritten letter to the same effect. |

Re: NFL enlists Christian right to fight Barney Frank
If the NFL is so concerned with sports betting....why can one open any sports section and get the line on any game......
Is the sports section next on the list? |

Re: NFL enlists Christian right to fight Barney Frank
The obvious solution is to fix football games.
Another obvious means of attack is to point out to the FoF crowd that the NFL is actively pitching its fantasy sports and is promoting gambling of a different form. |

Re: NFL enlists Christian right to fight Barney Frank
Oh, a better route would be to call your cable company and tell them you don't want the NFL network on basic cable, its too expensive.
